ANTONIO BANDER AS
From ’80s Almodóvar to Hollywood swashbuckling, Antonio Banderas’ early career was the perfect template for a European actor wishing to make it in LA. But as he returns to Spain for wicked film satire Official Competition, it’s his own third act that is proving indelible. He joins Total Film to talk acting, awards and ageing.

The Invisible Man
A chameleonic character actor who can do it all, George MacKay has rarely hewn a predictable path through the film industry. And now he’s taking one of his biggest swings yet, as a crusading graffiti artist in Babak Anvari’s volatile Brit thriller I CAME BY. Total Film meets a restless performer who can’t be pinned down.
IF IT BLEEDS. SHE CAN KILL IT IF
The ugliest motherf***er in movies is back for a stripped-down prequel pitting a new breed of Predator against a resourceful Comanche warrior in the early 18th century. Director Dan Trachtenberg and star Amber Midthunder tell Total Film about Prey, their quietly groundbreaking, franchisereviving David and Goliath story.
FAREWELL TO THE FLESH
Featuring livingbeds, mutating organs and avant-garde surgeries, twisted body horror Crimes Of The Future marks a welcome return to screens for David Cronenberg. Total Film dives into one of his most provocative films to date, as he prophesies the shape of things to come.
JUST DESERTS
Writer/director John Michael McDonagh turns his misanthropic lens on wealthy westerners forced into atonement for their fatal nonchalance amid Morocco’s sand dunes in The Forgiven. McDonagh and his stars, Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain, tell Total Film why we’re still fascinated by cinema’s terrible people.
